Hollows End

About

Surrounded by forested hills and an abundant watershed, Hollows End sits in a few acres of rolling open meadows. The recent aim of garden renovations has been to better connect the house, which sits up on a rise, with the land, and vice versa. A large sky frame that steps out and down over a terrace and deck helps that, along with plantings of native species, cultivars and grasses. Rustic locust fences surround a barn field / dog run out front and create a backdrop for a lush border in the backyard. An old pond now sits empty, sometimes brought back by beavers and at other times, washed away by super storms. We have finally decided to embrace the comings and goings of nature, but a large, flat gazing rock allows a closer view and sunning spot “down in the bowl.” A post and beam Summer House sits at the edge of the old pond and has a touch of tropical feel to it. A grotto featuring stone from the property includes a lotus bog, rain garden, fountain, and dipping pool.

This garden’s estimated size is 3 acres.
